>Description:
As sed's `N' command appends the next line of input to the pattern space,
absolute addr2 having odd number difference from addr1 does not
exactly match `linenum'. In this case, after r192732, sed treats
addr2 as relative without checking the address type. As the result,
`N' command with 2 addresses sometimes produces weird output.
I confirmed that sed in r168258 and r192731 works as expected.
sed before r168258 has another related `N' command bug,
which also exists in OpenBSD and NetBSD.

>Fix:
Attached is my simple fix.
Some complex testcases using `N' command should be added.
